PWHL Las Vegas officially names Kim Weiss as the league’s latest expansion team head coach ahead of its inaugural season. Multiple outlets report that Weiss, who is 37, has spent the past two seasons with the American Hockey League’s Colorado Eagles, the AHL affiliate of the Colorado Avalanche. She first joined the Eagles organization as a video coach in 2024 before being promoted to assistant coach in January 2026. Coverage also notes that Weiss is among the few women to hold a full-time assistant coaching role in the AHL, described as the second woman to do so, following Jessica Campbell.
The reporting frames Weiss’s appointment as a transition from the men’s professional game to the PWHL. One outlet adds context about timing, stating the announcement comes shortly after the Eagles concluded their season, including a recent Game 7 loss in the AHL Western Conference finals to Chicago. The sources agree on the core facts: her selection as Las Vegas coach, her age, and her two-season assistant coaching tenure with the Colorado Eagles.
